Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. It is recommended to decant it for a half an hour. Klet Brda is a wine cooperative made up of around 400 winemakers, based in Dobrovo Castle in the Brda region of Slovenia, on the north-eastern border of Italy. Here, the soils are rich in mineral substances and composed of sandstone and calcareous marl, and the climate ventilated by the sea breezes and the Bora, guarantee ideal conditions for the production of high-quality wine. The Merlot grapes are sourced from the green hills of the Goriška Brda wine region, at altitudes between 80 and 350 meters above sea level, from vines aged between 10 and 25 years. After a period of maceration of the grapes, the must is fermented in oak barrels. The wine is aged for 24 months in barrels, then blended, and left in stainless steel tanks. The Klet Brda Bagueri Merlot shows a dark and deep color with ruby tones. On the nose, it reveals an intense and broad aromatic profile with hints of dark fruit typical of Merlot, such as blackberry, plum, and berries, followed by notes of cocoa and balsamic hints. On the palate, the wine is soft and concentrated with good fruit intensity and a full body. It is well balanced by a pleasant vein of acidity. The finish is long and warm with a light dark chocolate aftertaste. Perfect with roast red meat or game, or with venison served in chocolate sauce.
